Poulsbo, WA — Available for consulting
12+ years turning complex systems into things that actually work — in code, in leather, and on a laser cutter. I build AI-powered operations, run a handcraft goods business, and ship things that outlast the hype.
About
From enterprise IT infrastructure to agentic AI systems, I've spent my career solving the operational problems that slow businesses down. Whether that's wiring up a full AI consulting pipeline, architecting a custom automation stack, or investigating something that doesn't add up — I work best when the problem is real and the stakes matter.
I'm also the founder and operator of Last Outpost Company — a handcraft goods business I've run since 2016. Leather goods, laser-engraved wood products, custom rubber stamps, and hand-drawn city map posters sold across Etsy, Wix, and print-on-demand channels. The same instinct that drives my tech work drives this one: build systems that scale, eliminate manual friction, and make something worth keeping.
These two sides aren't separate. Every fulfillment pipeline I've automated, every AI tool I've deployed, every investigation I've taken on — it all comes from the same place: a bias toward doing the actual work.
What I Do
Custom AI pipelines, agentic systems, and workflow automation. I help businesses deploy LLM tools that actually integrate with how they operate — not just demos.
Infrastructure design, IT lifecycle management, and operations strategy. From server virtualization to hybrid cloud to M365 — I've run it, broken it, and fixed it.
Research-intensive work requiring precision: OSINT, compliance analysis, data forensics. Currently completing PI licensing in Washington State.
Founder of Last Outpost Company. Leather goods, laser-engraved products, custom stamps, and hand-drawn map posters — designed, produced, and shipped. 2,100+ Etsy sales, fully automated fulfillment pipeline, multi-channel operations.
